Continuing the Tradition of Caring: Miami Jewish Foundation

The Miami Jewish Health Systems Foundation Inc., was formed in 2004, as the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged Foundation, Inc. As a nonprofit foundation, we changed our name in 2011 so as to better support the Miami Jewish Health Systems and its entities through cultivating philanthropic support for patient services, facilities, program and service development, indigent care, medical education and research.

Much of the Foundation’s work in the early years was the preservation of endowment funds and the funding of capital needs that helped Miami Jewish Health Systems become the largest and most innovative provider of healthcare for seniors in the Southeast.

Today the Foundation still supports the needs of the home and hospital, but does so with a loftier goal of keeping Miami Jewish Health Systems at the forefront of dynamic healthcare for our senior citizens. Whether it’s expanding care, physical space or minds through research, Miami Jewish Health Systems Foundation continues to partner with generous donors to bring the highest level of health care to our community.

We invite you to join the Foundation in our efforts as we Continue our Tradition of Caring!
